past present future
my eternal history
we must meet again
annie leibovitz
asked, "what do you want to see?
what worlds renew you?"
my first pilgrimage...
to a lake in florida
where a boy once played
then to an office
where the grown man helped many
aspire to their dreams
last, to a bedroom
where he became one with love
then slept like a child
glistening water
a work-worn desk, wealth of books
rumpled sheets and peace
each vision transforms
a portrait in absentia…
tears adorn my smile
on a crimson field
you dropped your shield, full aware,
wanting it over
i flew to your side
no man, no god, could stop me
but i was too late
the wound was gaping
i could see the heart i loved
spilling its life's blood
your eyes transfixed mine
as i took you in my arms
the world went silent
"do not grieve for me
today was my day to die
some debts must be paid”
“you cannot leave me
here, alone in this darkness”
the silence choked me
your hand grazed my cheek
“you will never be alone
I’m always with you”
words deserted me
your eyelids fluttered then closed
the dark descended
my lips to your ear
“haunt me through eternity…”
you were listening
yearning for the past…
you make me want to live it
all over again
karma intervenes
a man and a woman kiss
history repeats
this is his story
a record of man's past time
touching all of us
my dear professor
history has taken on
a whole new luster
from your perspective
i see mysteries unfold
and secrets revealed
your fascination
prompts me to look more deeply
beneath the surface
synthesizing facts
predicting future events
you open new worlds
how can i thank you
for universes untold
my dear professor
historian mine
immortalize our story
love in every word
you're my destiny
written indelibly in
the book of my life
i study the past
scrutinize each word and deed
searching for the truth
i knew as a child
i'd marry a professor...
i've always been yours
